Then join our research team to determine how various earth system processes in and over open water, agricultural, natural and urban environments evolve at different scales. This position is part of the ITEM (Infrastructure Twente for Ecosystem Monitoring) initiative, responding to the Earth and Environmental Sciences (EES) Sectorplan-Beta II, which is aiming at strengthening the scientific foundation by continuous and incidental measurements of (sub)processes on earth while addressing societal missions in the fields of "Security living environment/habitat", "Agriculture, water and food", "Energie(transition), circularity and sustainability" and "Health". This initiative is a faculty-wide effort that connects all four scientific departments of the Faculty ITC of the University of Twente through their four key focus areas: Resource Security, GeoAI, Disaster Resilience, and Urban Futures. You will work with various physics-based models, ground observations and airborne and space-based earth observation images. More specifically, you will work on an open, explainable, and GeoAI-supported framework for the temporal integration of Earth system models with observational data from our spatially distributed sensor network (ITEM), as well as Earth observation imagery. With this framework, you will model environmental processes such as air quality, heat or drought over various land cover types and at multiple scales. You will present (both preliminary and mature) research results at meetings and conferences and publish results in scientific outlets. In addition, you will contribute to teaching on topics related to your work, supervise and mentor involved MSc students as needed. ## Related Videos - [Photonic Computing: Programming a New Class of AI Accelerators (incl.
